CRKTM21-10KSF EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Special Forces Everyday Carry, Black Serrated Edge Blade, Frame Lock, Dual Hilt, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip

CRKT is one of my favorite manufacturers. I like the R&D focus on locking the blade properly...after all the one thing that makes a folder less stable, than a fixed blade, or a Butterfly knife, is the joint, hence making this joint as secure as possible seems like a worthy pursuit. To that end this company has produced a few types of innovations, such as a liner lock button on some models, a knife that comes out from a different direction, etc.Like so many of their other blades this knife speaks to me with its functional design, weight, balance, easy adjustable opening mechanism, and... the knife is delivered with a usable sharp blade. Pet peeve alert: I do not like to have to do a major sharpening job on a knife, unless I am buying a butter knife. The M21 like many CRKT knives I enjoy, looks modern & elegant, even the serrated blade section does not look cheap, as it does with so many knives,. This is a beautiful knife and for the price point it is truly an exceptional design. For example, the two flanks that allow one to open the blade can act as a guard, have jimping for fingers, and two holes so the blade can be used as a spear. To me the M21 encompasses everything I like about this company and knives it produces. The knife is a perfect size, locks up with no give, is durable and sharp.

This knife is great for everyday use. Easy to open and close and it is wonderfully sharp. It cuts through packaging and other items that need to be cut open with ease. Simply the perfect pocket knife.

The media could not be loaded. Most of the reviews on the CRKT M21-10KSF product page are for other CRKT knives, like the M16s. This review and my video are for the actual CRKT M21-10KSF knife.It's a great knife and I like it. It's small, lightweight, and a great pocket knife. It looks good with fine craftmanship.One drawback for me was that the folding mechanism was tricky to figure out. I've owned a lot of folding knives in my life and it took me awhile to figure this one out. The official CRKT video was useless because the guy folded it way too quickly with little explanation. So in my video review I'll show you how to do this. It's simple once you figure it out. There is a small bar built into the inside of the frame but you can't really see it until you press it to the left and then you'll notice it moves.Once I figured that out it's easy to fold and unfold the knife. So overall, I'm very happy with this knife and it will now be my every day carry pocket knife.

Smaller than expected but very functional, sharp and great quality!

It's the right size to carry all the time, sharp and sturdy and functions well. Double tangs give peace of mind. Not too big to have on you all the time, belt clip to the pocket works great. A bit tough to fold up one handed (a touch stiff) but will break in. Love it.

Bday gift for my nephew. He loves it. Very sharp and small size for edc.

The frame lock is sturdy as hell, one handed closing starts hurting the thumb after 3 or so times, not for knife fidgeting, but the knife is a great little thing, came sharp and is a great knife I keep in my car, wouldnt use as a EDC because it's too small and slim. But would recommend!

Smaller than I expected. Considering that this is a smaller knife, it is stiff to deploy. Handle edges seem a little sharp. I wish they were more "rounded". Blade is plenty sharp. Light weight.I own about 20 knives similar to this one (size, $, functionality, comfort). I'd consider this one about average. CRKT Shenanigan leads the pack.
